Abstract:
Field experiments were conducted at horticultural field of Rama University, Kanpur India on The Study on different types of mulch on the growth and yield of chilli, pusa jwala (Capsicum annuum L.) under Kanpur Agro climate conditions experiment was laid out in RBD considering eight treatments. The variety Pusa jwala was selected and the combinations of treatment were T1= paper mulch; T2= leaf mulch; T3= jute mulch; T4= straw mulch; T5= white plastic mulch; T6=grass mulch; T7= black plastic mulch; T8= No mulch.
The plant height is measure maximum in T7 (57.44cm) whereas that minimum height of plant is recorded in T1 (28.55cm) whereas number of leaves is measure maximum in T7 (102.56) and minimum no. Of leaves is measured in T3 (54.54). The maximum number of branches were counted in T7 (8.34) whereas minimum number of branch was counted in T8 (2.12). The maximum number of flower is recorded maximum in T7 (40.04)whereas the minimum number of flower is recorded in T3 (31.97). Fruit length were observed in various patterns were length seems to be perfect result. The maximum number of fruit length (7.00 cm) was produced by T7 where T3 was recorded as the minimum produced of fruit length (6.56 cm). Number Of fruit count maximum T7 (22.34) was recorded and minimum was count on T3the (16.47) maximum fruit weight was counted T7 (3.23) whereas minimum was fruits weight was counted T8 (2.12) maximum fruits yield per plant T7 (132.46)whereas minimum on T1 (122.26) maximum seed germination on T7 (68.31) whereas minimum on T8 (58.52). The size and weight of fruit is also important aspect as these character are useful for yield as well as consumer acceptability. The size of fruit was significantly increase by growth regulator. From all the treatment applied on the growth and yield of chilli highest yield was recorded T7 (35.76 t/ha). where production seems to be higher, where was minimum was recorded T3 (24.54) it revealed that application of different types of mulch I.e paper mulch, leaf mulch, jute mulch, straw mulch, white plastic mulch, grass mulch, black plastic mulch, no mulch on chilli was found to be statistically significant.
The reasons behind such type of results may be that the use of different types of mulch. However, T7 was observed significant where evaluation in different locations and different planting times of the year and under different kinds of protected structures is recommended for validation of results.
